First you need to benchmark what exactly is slowing things down...

Usually it is more cost-efficient to invest a bit more in bandwith/an extra webserver/an extra database server instead of spending money on a programmer that optimises queries etc...

Did you take a look at the site? God ****, it weighs 600kb. Cut it down. Front pages shouldn't weight more than... say... 30kb.

Yikes 8O If I were to try this on my old 56K modem I'd have closed this and gone elsewhere before the 1:20 mins download time was up.

huge amount of info on the first page, don't default the option to show all products as there is alot of graphics that need to be loaded which is taking alot of the time.
